Tuomey Triumphs on the Wild Atlantic Way

It is not called the “Wild Atlantic Way” for nothing as the rugged and spectacular terrain of the Burren and the West Coast of Ireland took its toll on the Scott Junior Tour today. A bruising encounter which saw Team Ireland attempt to take it to the race by having three riders in an early breakaway failed to reap rewards as Ronan Toumey (Tarrant Skoda Munster) outsprinted yesterdays stage winner and Eurocycles Green Points Jersey wearer Jason Oosthuizen (South Africa) for the win in Ballyvaughan.

Ben Walsh of team Ireland continues to lead the General Classification as the race makes its way East tomorrow for the Hill Top finish of Gallows Hill.
